Ok guys I have been searching here and google to see what are the differences in ghee chassis between these cars and couldn't come up with much at all

Motor gearbox and the larger brakes aside what are the differences as a base to build from for a track car or are they the same ?

Steering response, lock, tracking, bracing potential flex in chassis etc are the things I am interested in knowing or feedback from someone that has driven or developed either car.

Will be mainly drift setup with time attack circuit and hill climbs thrown in the mix

Thanks :)

R34 is shorter

So is Ryans genitalia! :laugh: Just shuddup and buy the 34 already like i told you 2 years ago!!! :no:

You will cage it, bracing fixed!

You will modify knuckles, Steering fixed!

You will buy it and then sell it 3mths later, So your problems are fixed :P

That is my 2c

There is this new program called Google noodle nut -

Weight -

1,410 kg (3,108.5 lb) (GT-T)

1,390 kg (3,064.4 lb) (GTS-25t)

Length -

4,705 mm (185.2 in) (sedan) - 34

4,720 mm (185.8 in) (sedan) - 33

What else?

Total length doesn't matter so much as wheelbase does.

Face it.....the R34 is newer. You'd have to expect Nissan to have made the chassis at least a little stiffer. Crashability rules were steadily increasing all the time - at the very least the front end steelwork would have to be a bit stronger, notwithstanding the suspension equipment being almost exactly the same.

But as has been said above......once you put in a cage etc, the tiny differences between chassis get diluted to nothing. Choose the newer car with the better engine.

Wheelbase 2,720 mm (107.1 in) - 33

Wheelbase 2,665 mm (104.9 in) - 34

And he has a built 26 for it so the engine etc doesnt matter!

As Matt said engine and brakes are not of importance just looking at the chassis as a development point of view, I have noticed the towers on a r34 are different to 33

Interesting the wheel base is shorter was that for sedans Matt ? Or in reference to the coupes ?

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
